thnaks for the reply. the "markup" mess is required by the validator.
get rid of the <button> tag and you get:
document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of
"OBJECT", "MAP", "BUTTON" start-tag
my code is a navigation menu. you click on the buttons (that are divs
with a proper background image). the links, translated from italian,
are nothing extremely obscure: home, who we are, services.. i think
your comment on user-unfriendliness is interesting. i think the
avarage user has no problem in inferring that when on the menu of a
page there is a link with written "who we are", you can click on it
and have information on "who we are".
